Action
Assassin: Shadow Ascent
Rook returns to Veyra with a blade and a revoked access badge. Each floor of the five towers is a small infiltration puzzle: watch where the guards look before deciding who to approach.
How to play
Your objective
Fulfil the floor briefing, then reach the elevator. Some floors ask for evidence or a terminal; the first one requires two guards and a card.
Controls
- Move with WASD or the arrows. In blade mode, walk into close range to strike.
- Space dodges, E interacts, F switches weapons and R reloads. Touch players have a stick and action buttons.
Get through the first service lobby
In Unwelcome Return, approach the stationary desk guard from behind with your blade equipped. He carries the access card; neutralizing him puts it in your inventory.
Use the solid partition as cover. Watch the second guard patrol before leaving cover to approach from outside his view.
Once both guards and the card are accounted for, enter the elevator. Taking both guards by surprise also satisfies the mastery goal.
Player tip
Security glass blocks attacks but does not hide you. If you need to break line of sight, put an actual wall between yourself and the patrol.
